Painting Description
"Self Portrait with Saskia" is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1636 during the Dutch Golden Age. This artwork is significant as it is the only etching in which Rembrandt depicted himself with his wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh. Measuring approximately 104 mm × 94 mm, this piece is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in the medium of etching, a technique he mastered and pushed to new heights.
The etching showcases Rembrandt and Saskia in an intimate, domestic setting, with Rembrandt dressed in historical costume, which was a common practice in his self-portraits to evoke a timeless quality. Saskia, the daughter of a prominent lawyer and the cousin of Rembrandt's art dealer, married the artist in 1634. Their marriage was not only a personal union but also a significant social ascent for Rembrandt, who was the son of a miller.
In "Self Portrait with Saskia," Rembrandt's use of light and shadow, a hallmark of his work, is evident in the delicate rendering of the couple's faces, which stand out against the darker background. The etching is also notable for its depiction of the couple's relationship and the tenderness conveyed by their proximity and interaction. Rembrandt's gaze is direct and engaging, while Saskia is shown looking down, with a gentle expression.
The work is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its intimate portrayal of the artist's personal life. It is part of a larger body of self-portraits that Rembrandt created throughout his career, which together provide a deep insight into his evolving self-image, artistic preoccupations, and personal circumstances.
"Self Portrait with Saskia" is housed in several major museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. It remains an important piece for the study of Rembrandt's oeuvre and for understanding the artist's personal narrative as well as the broader context of 17th-century Dutch portraiture.
